About the book

Wilkie Collins's The Woman in White is a landmark of Victorian sensation fiction. The story begins when drawing teacher Walter Hartright encounters a mysterious woman dressed entirely in white on a lonely road outside London. His subsequent employment at Limmeridge House draws him into a complex mystery involving Laura Fairlie, Marian Halcombe and the sinister Sir Percival Glyde. Told through the accounts of multiple narrators, the novel builds a web of secrets around identity, inheritance, confinement and hidden motives. Filled with suspense, shifting testimony and memorable figures including the charismatic Count Fosco, it is regarded as one of the earliest and finest examples of the mystery novel.
